so are you still losing water ?

the gurgling noise happens in many turbos but it sounds that if you haven't got another leak you haven't bleed the system properly.

when i got a coolant change at toyota years ago it took them 3 hours to fill and bleed the system properly, did you spend this time plus more when you did it?

yes i still have the leak its dripping from drivers side of engine bay and it took me bout 2 hours bleeding it front end raised on a 2 post ramp any ideas bout the water dripping as i dont think tht an air lock would coz the water to keep dropping

this could be your problem, you need to find out exactly where it is leaking from

drivers side is it near engine or bulkhead ??could be thermostate housing leaking or clip not strong enough to hold good seal on hose,i removed all my original hose clamps & replaced with jubilee clips doubled up on every hose,if its bulkhead could be the heater pipes leaking?? has it had a clutch replaced ??
